After Alex Polecheck's police officer husband, Sam, is stabbed in cold blood, she vows to see the murderer brought to justice. Peter, Sam’s best friend, and fellow police officer, seems to be the only member of the Police Department interested in catching the killer.

Peter sets out on a perilous hunt for the killer, while trying to protect Alex, who appears to be next on the murderer’s list.

The mystery begins to unravel when Peter finds a connection between the murder of Sam and two other law enforcement officers, who were all part of an internet crime taskforce. Peter and Alex find themselves alone in the battle for justice and truth when they discover members of the local police department cannot be trusted. Will Peter piece together the puzzle before Alex is silenced? While battling to protect Alex, will he be able to continue to conceal his love for her?

Alex
leaned back and pressed her body to Peter’s. His chest was firm, and his flesh
was hot. She tilted her head back and rested it on his shoulder. He skimmed his
mouth down the side of her neck, and gently caressed her breasts with his
hands.

Alex’s
breathing intensified. It was exactly what she wanted. She turned to face Peter,
placed her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips to his, parting them
slightly to invite him in. Within seconds, his soft sweet kiss turned so
passionate Alex nearly lost her mind. The taste of him seeped into her, stunning
her, leaving her weak and breathless.

She
removed her arms from around his neck and unbuttoned his shirt, displaying his
broad chest and washboard abs. She kissed his chest and stomach as she exposed
them. Under her roaming mouth and hands, his skin was hot and smooth, his
muscles firm.

She
looked up at him and his mouth swooped down and took hers, leading her into
another mouthwatering kiss as invigorating as the first one. As they kissed, she
undid the button and zipper to his slacks and gave them a little tug, dropping
them to the floor.

Peter’s
groping hands tugged her dress from her hips. He paused and stared at her body
for a moment. His eyes darkened. He reached forward and slipped his fingers
under the narrow side straps of her lacy, black panties and slid them off her
before he led her over to the bed.

Alex
pulled the covers back, climbed in, and lay on her back, ready and waiting for
him. He yanked off his boxers, exposing his magnificent erection, and then slid
in beside her. He leaned up on one elbow, gazing down at her with his dark,
seductive brown eyes. From the intensity of his stare, she was sure he could see
into her soul. She felt herself floating, drifting under his spell. He’d already
awakened every pulse point in her body, and he’d yet to really touch her. But
he’d already touched the most important part of her, her heart.

Peter
stroked her stomach with his fingers.
Long, soft, slow strokes. His penetrating gaze still locked on her eyes. He
broke free from her stare and kissed her lightly on her neck. His hand
moved
to her breasts, caressing, kneading. With his thumb and forefinger, he teased
her taut nipples. His kisses trailed down from her neck to her chest, and then
to her breasts. His warm, moist tongue flicked over her nipples, giving each one
their due attention as he skimmed his hand over her stomach, lowering it to her
special place. His skilled fingers circled her swollen bead of
arousal.

Shock,
pleasure, and heat spread through her like wildfire. Her urgency grew. “Peter, I
need you in me,” she whispered.

He
stared into her eyes as he positioned his body on top of hers. She quivered as
he gently slid himself into her and moved slowly as if savoring every moment.
With each long, slow stroke, she felt her orgasm building, heightening. She
clung to the edge, teetering, trying to hold on, waiting for him. But she was
slipping, losing control. His thrusts grew quicker and deeper. Following his
lead, she met his every thrust. She couldn’t hold on any longer. A tidal wave
washed through her, her muscles pulsating inside her at the very moment Peter
reached his climax. She floated down, breathing out his name.

Peter
lay still for a moment, resting his head to the side of hers. “I love you Alex,
I always have.”

Alex’s
eyes swelled with tears. “I love you too, Peter,”

Alex
lay still, overcome with emotion. His tenderness moved her. His love surrounded
her. She nearly wept. She never thought in a million years that she would be
lucky enough to find true love a second time.
